"Reached out to Chris with an interesting electrical situation. I wanted an expert to assess ceiling lighting in a space and I was under a time restraint to complete the work. I knew the work was going to be a challenge due to the dated wiring in the space but was not sure to what extent as visually the job looked easy. Even though Chris and his team were extremely busy, he understood the urgency and took the time to fit the job in. He arrived with 2 of his other electricians to look over the space. They had a positive upbeat disposition even though it was pouring rain outside. What seemed like an easy light replacement turned out to require more labor then anticipated. He completed the job as quickly as he could and with great expertise! Chris, along side Milan and Logan were truly amazing! They not only changed the lighting as contracted, but took the work to the highest level of service by ensuring it was completed properly. They troubleshooted difficult issues as they became evident and instead of dismissing them as out of scope, they took the time to correct them. It is hard now a days to find contractors that will go above and beyond to ensure their client is happy and Chris is that contractor! I appreciate all the time Chris, Logan and Milan took to be sure the job was not only complete but properly executed. Chris and his team are awesome!"

"While they could not service our gas fireplace pilot light, the customer service representative who called provided a lot of information on their semi-annual HVAC service packages and sent quotations for two levels of service for our gas heating system and electric A/C system, one more comprehensive than the other which included emergency plumbing and electrical services, as needed."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

People who have experienced blown fuse have occasionally tried to fix the problem by placing copper pennies in the fuse box. While they are good conductors of electricity and can seemingly “fix” the issue,  they don’t protect against short circuits or fires. Putting pennies in a fuse box is dangerous—the best solution is to call a professional electrician to fix the problem.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

Unless you’re a licensed electrician, you should not DIY any electrical work in your home. Working with wires and electricity is potentially dangerous to both you and the structure you’re working on, and it could lead to house fires or electric shock if you’re not 100% sure what you’re doing. There’s a big difference between changing a light switch cover and rewiring an entire home. If you’re staring down a potentially difficult electrical job, give a pro a call.

There are many signs it is time to replace an electrical panel, starting with flickering lights. Other tell-tale signals include overheating appliances, light fixtures that cause an electric shock, hissing or crackling from the breaker box, burned or blackened spots near the breaker box, and breakers that trip whenever activating power-hungry appliances like microwaves.

Electrical fixes are best handled by a licensed electrician, but it’s possible to release a wire connection on your own. Be sure to always turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker before beginning your project to avoid electric shock. Carefully insert the tip of a flat screwdriver into the rectangular hole beneath the wire. Hold the outlet in the palm of your other hand. Pull out the wire as you apply pressure with the screwdriver.
